Ingredients
Fish
- 4 mahi mahi fillets
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Ginger Glaze
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Season fish: Season the 4 mahi mahi fillets with salt and pepper according to your taste. Place the seasoned fillets into a shallow baking dish to prepare for marinating.
- Make ginger glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, extra virgin olive oil, ground ginger, and brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
- Marinate mahi mahi: Pour the ginger glaze evenly over the fillets in the baking dish. Cover the dish and refrigerate to let the fish marinate for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
- Preheat oven: Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for baking the fish.
- Bake: Remove the cover from the baking dish and place it in the preheated oven. Bake the mahi mahi fillets for 13-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Serve: Serve the baked mahi mahi warm, complementing it with sides like rice, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
Notes
- For best results, marinate the fish for the full 20 minutes to allow deep flavor absorption.
- You can substitute fresh ginger for ground ginger by using about 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger for a stronger, fresher taste.
- Ensure the fish is cooked thoroughly and flakes easily; baking times may vary slightly based on fillet thickness.
- If desired, garnish with chopped green onions or fresh cilantro before serving.
- This recipe pairs well with light sides such as quinoa or steamed asparagus.
